Before the first wash, select the Normal cycle and add a half amount of the detergent. Start the appliance without clothes. This will remove possible residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.
Sort laundry and load the washer.
Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size as needed. Open the door and load items into the washer.
If using single-use detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents, place them in the drum before loading the laundry.
Add cleaning products.
Add the proper amount of HE (High-Efficiency) detergent to the detergent dispenser.
If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of the dispenser drawer.
Do not place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents, in the dispenser.
Turn on the washer.
Press the Power button to turn on the washer.
Select a cycle.
Turn the cycle selector knob or press the cycle buttons repeatedly until the desired cycle is selected.
The preset wash temperature, spin speed, soil level and option settings for the selected cycle are shown.
The Normal cycle must be selected in order to change its default settings.
Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle immediately starts the Normal cycle with the default settings.
Adjust settings.
Default settings for the selected cycle can be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and option buttons.
Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime sounds and the LED does not light up if the selection is not allowed.
Begin cycle.
Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The door locks, and the washer agitates briefly without water to measure the weight of the load.
If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer shuts off and all settings are lost.
End of cycle.
When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.
If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Item function will not be available (on applicable models). To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select Rinse+Spin.
